28 November 1965 inMiddlesbrough ) is a former English footballer who played as a left-winger. He played for ten different clubs at professional level, ending his career in 2006, with a brief stint atGrimsby Town aged 40. He is well remembered for hissomersault goal celebration.Career
Beagrie started his professional footballing career as an apprentice at Middlesbrough in 1983. Although well-loved by most of the teams he played for, Beagrie fell out of favour with the fans at Middlesbrough for being one of only two players (the other was then club captain
Don O'Riordan ) to cut ties with the club during infamous liquidation in 1986. The 1986 squad contained names who went onto succeed at the very highest level, includingGary Pallister andStuart Ripley .One of the highlights of his illustrious, ten-club career was gaining promotion to the Premiership whilst playing, arguably, his best football at Bradford City. He also made two appearances for the England B team and also played twice for the England under-21 side.
On his 40th birthday he made his 750th footballing appearance and scored his 100th goal for his ninth club, Scunthorpe United. [ [http://news.independent.co.uk/people/profiles/article335911.ece The Independent] - Peter Beagrie: Let me entertain you - and see the smile on my face]
